Book: 13 Questions On Paganism And Wicca by Richard Roy

My Conception of any sincerely religious person is that he tries to express his convictions into his life. To me, it seems that the most potent form of prayer is in work. Or like Gurdjieff said, "Work as if everything depends on work. Pray as if everything depends on prayer." It seems to me the lack of practical work leaves a religion without a skeleton, the rest of the tissue has nothing to hang on. I would say that the practical side, including much of the wisdom teachings, should not be separated from the religious except as a convention to facilitate teaching.

When talking about spells and spell casting you can get into some sticky
situations. No other subject can cause so many divisions in the pagan
community.

It seems that there are as many different ways and ethical practices as
there are gods and goddesses in the universe. If you take into
consideration that spells and the way you cast them is what makes them
effective it begins to make perfect sense why.

In effective spell casting there are three very important ingredients that
you must have, resolve, focus, and comfort.

Without resolve there can be no change, it is your commitment to an action
that is the basis of a spell. You have to really want it! Without a genuine
intention to effect a change you are casting magic to the wind, cluttering
up an otherwise flowing universe. Spells without resolve can be detrimental
undirected or worse misdirected energy is free to change unknown
situations.

Make sure you really want the change you are trying to make. When you get
it, it's yours. This is where a little divination would come in handy to
make sure you will be truly happy with the outcome of your spell.

Focus, direction, or meditation, how good can aim? The focus of your spell
casting is as important as the resolve to make a change. If you can't see
the broad side of a barn you will not have the ability to effect a change
on it. You have to be able to taste it! If you physically build a dog
house, you have to have some idea what it will look like when you are done.
A spell is like a dog house, if you don't know what it's supposed to look
like when your done, you could very well end up with a failed attempt or
worse. You have to belive it's possible. If you can't belive that something
is possible it's not. Anything is possible if you truly belive it can
happen. If you belive you can make a change and you know how the change
will take place and you can picture the end result of your spell, you are
there.

Comfort is easy, if you can't ethically accept the responsibility for your
spell or there is something that bothers you about what you are trying to
do or how you are going about it, don't. You are the power in your spell,
you are the creator and the control.

Poor comfort will mess up your focus and your resolve. Without comfort you
will have a very poor spell at best.

If you are undecided between two admirers, magick can help. Take two tulip
bulbs, and with a new pin, scratch the name of one suitor on each bulb.
Remembering which bulb represents which lover, plant the bulbs beside each other
in a pit, window box or garden. The bulb that blooms first will reveal the
admirer who is most deserving of you.

GOOD LUCK BLESSING

NOTE: THis is my own homemade spell, and I have found it to work VERY well!

This is a simple blessing for good luck. Actually more specifically,
it's for when you're going to be going into a potentially troublesome
situation, and DON'T want trouble! (ex. a party where some people there
could be bothersome) The feather that is used should be one that was taken
without pain...that is, one that the bird did not suffer to provide. This
can be one that was dropped from the bird naturally, or similarly given by
nature itself...not one that was stolen or taken against the bird's will.

You light 2 blue candles, and place them about shoulder length aprt in front
of you. Then taking a Tiger-eye, a Blue Agate, and a Aventurine, place them
in a triangle between the candles. Then take your feather and lay it under
the stone triangle in front of you. KNeel, and relax (basic preparation)
Then open a basic circle (I use "north, south, east, west, may this circle
now be blessed" three times, each time focusing on the circle in question,
inviting all the spirits to bless and protect. feel free to do that however
you wish though. I'm just one for simplicity. :)))

Now place your hands out straight near the flames of the candle and say:

"Oh blessed be, oh gods of fire,
Burn away my dark desires
Through the warmth that burns so free
Let vi-o-lence change now to peace"

Then taking the feather in your casting hand, hold it close to you, and
focusing your Energies into it, say:

"Blessed be thou, of Goddess of love, look in favour upon me as I venture
into danger. Leave not my side and aid me in my time of need."

Then taking the feather again, pass the tip over the stones, focusing on
the energy being absorbed into the feather, and say:

"Through these stones, let your goodness be done.
Where no pain has befallen let no blood be shed
Where no evil exists let none surmount
Where no malice is meant, let none be formed
Where love is lost, let now be found
I go in peace, I go in play
Through your goodness, let these feelings never stray.
So mote be it."

Then take the feather tip, and again trace the Pentagram on your chest,
focusing on the energies flowing into your spirit, saying:

"Blessed be my eyes that I may see your beauty.
Blessed be my ears that I may hear your good works
Blessed be my skin that I may feel your presence in my life
Blessed be my feet that I may never stray from your path
Blessed be my spirit that I may be deserving of your graces.
Blessed be...blessed be...blessed be."

(note: This part is what I use in all my rituals as a blessing. If you use
something else, substitute)

Then place the candle back down, and close the circle.

There you have it. It's a ritual I made myself, but it DOES work, I've used
it myself a few times.

And after all...as someone once told me, isn't the rituals you make
yourself the most meaningful? :))

Book: Practical Magic For Beginners Techniques And Rituals To Focus Magical Energy by Brandy Williams

Anyone can practice magic to improve their everyday lives. Practical Magic for Beginners is a straightforward introduction to magical practice for Christians, Pagans, Jews, atheists, and people of all religious traditions. This comprehensive training course presents the foundations of spellcraft and ritual magic through short, simple exercises. Readers explore their energy and senses, and then move on to developing skills in extrasensory perception, divination, and introspection. Magical timing, magical processes, ritual space and tools, journaling, and dreamwork are explained and discussed in depth. This nondenominational guidebook also includes twenty rituals related to friendship, love, prosperity, health, and other common concerns.

It does not go into wide discussions on origins of wicca, it does not go on and on about wicca/witchcraft as religious system and its incorporability into your own religious belief (if different).
It goes on to explain about the way of the witch, giving plenty of exercises and sound advice on posture, meditation, grounding and centering, feeling your centre, energy work, directing energy, seeing the aura, finding your magical voice, magic circle, moon-phases, chakras etc, on to the ritual itself. No mumbo-jumbo, no religious overtones, no silly songs praising this or that goddess (if i want a book on that, I'm sure there are many available) just sound practical advice for beginners on how to enhance your capabilities and how to use your own skill in making things manifest for you.
The author draws from many sources, from wicca and Ceremonial Magic, to buddhism and martial arts - actually from most systems which acknowlledge the Energy the witch uses to manifest.

The book is very well organized, goes from basics on to more complicated stuff and does not skip a step. I wish I had known of this book years ago! Not a word in this book is wasted.

Williams accurately assesses a clear strength in this addition to Llewellyn's for Beginners series (Astrology, Chakras, Divination, Healing Alternatives, Magick, etc.) by calling her book "short on theory and long on practice." Her other fortes in this sound primer are clarity, simplicity and open-ended spiritual affiliation. Her emphasis on innate powers and abilities could invite believers of many stripes who want specific exercises to enhance their personal awareness. From the first simple experiment of holding palms close to each other to create perception of the unseen, Williams devotes two-thirds of her useful book to offering such concrete explorations of the invisible through sight, sound, feeling, movement, objects, planets and timing. She also lists the most basic tools for performing magic rituals and prefers dedicated, mundane household objects (clean broom, blue bowl, etc.), underscoring her belief that "everyone can develop enough psychic skill to... do effective ritual magic." The final third lists specific rituals for life events: e.g., finding a home or a job, getting money or taking a trip. Williams's only shortcoming is a lack of emphasis to "harm none," frequently found in other primers. Easy to follow, this useful volume will aid anyone who wants to master the basics of practical magic.

This book bridges the gap between Llwelyn's dime-a-dozen Wicca books and the great work (Magnum Opus) of Franz Bardon. In his "Initiation Into Hermetics", he spends the first half of the book getting his readers to undergo (more or less) all of the things that Brandy Williams will have you do in this book. The difference is that in Brandy's work, you don't need to have 5-6 hours a day to devote to magical study and mental mastery.

Introspection, meditation, energy, sense mastery and enhancement (individually and collectively), journal keeping, and forming better habits in general are the order of the day for all True Magi. These are the proper stones upon which you build your own temple. If you want to know more about yourself and your role in this world (and others, potentially), you owe it to yourself to buy this book!
Good Luck, and Blessed Be!

Book: Silvers Spells For Love by Silver Ravenwolf

Does your current relationship need a spicy boost? Have you been browsing for love in all the wrong places? From finding a new lover to handling that couch-potato partner, Silver's Spells for Love has more than 100 ideas, potions, and incantations to bring titillating passion into your life. Besides romance, there are spells for improving and enhancing relationships with parents, siblings, children, friends, teachers, and even pets. Based on the folk magick of many cultures, these spells are all surprisingly simple. Whether you want affection, commitment, or a hot night on the town, this book will teach you the nuances of spellcasting for love!

I really enjoy Silver's books. This Love Spell Book is a very good buy for the money spent. These spells range from finding romantic, family, and pet love. And if one needs to let go of an unhealthy situation, this book offers good spells to help ease pain. Aqua Illusion would have you believe that Silver somehow went against the Wiccan Rede. But, it doesn't...the only way it could do that is if there spells designed to specifically manipulate another's free will, curse someone, or cast a love spell with someone specific in your mind and heart. But, there is nothing here to proove that! After all, The Wiccan Rede should be adopted by *all* practitioners of magick, for only a fool would cast spells that do otherwise then what The Wiccan Rede states. After all, there's far too much negativity in the world, as it is...why would you want to add to that? Anyway, but this book...it's GREAT. Albeit, not quite as good as the other 2 books in the series for 2 reasons: I thought that she would have included some information or idease for Love Altars and the Pagan Rite known as Handfasting. 2.) And, as a fan of the magickal oil recipes of Morgaga, from "Morgana's Chamber" I had expected some of her personal magickal incense and oil recipes within it. But, don't allow those laccking bits of info. to dtere you.

Especially I love the introduction as well as the beginning of the first chapter, which gives an overview of the type of visualization needed to achieve your goals while spell casting. Also, she has included appendixes in the back of the book that give more detailed information on moon phases, planets, and color correspondences, so you know the best time to perform various spells. And Silver RavenWolf does make it quite clear that the wiccan rede is against manipulating the free will of others, contrary to what some other reviews may have you believe. This book is written for both beginners and avid practioners of the craft. I would definatley reccomend this book.

Book review: Journal Of Experimental Spirituality by Ashe

At first glance, this issue may appear to be a departure from our previous offerings. William S. Burroughs has long been and continues to be, though somewhat softened by time, a controversial figure. His life and theories remain kewl and are still discovered by successive younger generations. To a large extent Burroughs is talked about but not discussed. He has become another larger than life pop icon—all be it one that retains the potential to be both edgy and disruptive. Key quotes and his larger theoretical constructs are discussed in academic, literate and specialized circles. Few, however, actually peer beneath the hood and attempt to figure out the moving parts in his engine of genius. Even fewer have looked at his theories in a spiritual, or more appropriately a magical, context. At the center of his work, especially from The Wild Boys forward, is a grappling with his reality of a magical universe populated by diverse gods and multiple zones beyond the control of the terrestrial material world.

Would it surprise one that Burroughs wrote often of drugs, control systems and communication? Probably not. Would it surprise the casual fan that he believed in a magical universe, felt affinity with the Egyptian notion of seven souls and was an initiated Chaos magician at the time of his death? Quite possibly. Burroughs’ later writing is infused with complex episodes and examinations of the magical universe, the importance of dream space, the travels of the soul after death and the power of magick. His characters conduct postmodern rituals from the wild boy tribes’ unigenesis to his hard-boiled detective’s occult investigative techniques. Sometimes spiritual gnosis is a lambent flame warming the seeker with the careful time-honed glow of wisdom and sometimes spiritual metamorphosis is a blast furnace reducing the old to ash. Much of the work contained in this feature would fit the latter more than the former. Some may find portions of this material disturbing or offensive. There is currently a notion circulating in scientific research circles that high risk holds the potential for high gain. There are those who have reached the determination that the
same holds true for experimental spirituality as well. Prem, Sven

Once the rite is ended, face North, hold aloft the wand and say:

Farewell, Spirit of the North Stone.
I give thanks for your presence here.
Go in power.

Repeat this same formula to the East, South and West, substituting the proper direction in the words. Then return to the North and hold the wand aloft for a few moments.

Lay the wand on the altar. Take up the athame. Standing in the North, pierce the circle's wall with the blade at waist level. Move clockwise around the circle, visualizing it's power being sucked back into the athame. Literally pull it back into the blade and handle. Sense the circle dissolving, shrinking; the outside world slowly regaining its dominance in the area. When you arrive at the North again, the circle is no more.

Here is a spell for "freezing out" and getting rid of people, situations, and whatever else you don't want to have in your life anymore. Just be sure that you really DON'T want whatever it is that you put into this spell because it really does work.

You will need:

* Black Candle
* Aluminum Foil
* Picture of whatever (whoever) it is you want to get rid of - or you can just write it (names, situation, circumstances, etc) on a sheet of paper. Be as specific as possible.

Now, light the candle, lay the picture and/or the paper on a sheet of aluminum foil. Fold the foil with the paper/picture on it seven times. Seal the package with wax from the burning candle.

While you are sealing it say:

"No longer can you enter my life,

no longer can you cause me strife,

on ice you go. on ice you stay,

go you now away this day."

Then place the package in the back of your freezer knowing it is done. Leave the package there until you are sure that the spell has worked. You can then remove it and drop it into a dumpster far from your home" at" Gay "

Take a piece of parchment or fine quality writing paper and inscribe the name of the target. Write it in a circle twice, so the ends meet. As you do this, concentrate on the person's face and your desire that they call you. Then, while still concentrating, put a needle through the center of the circle created by the name. Place the charm by the phone.

Spread out a white handkerchief. On it, place a clipping of your pet's hair and a picture of your home or one of you and your pet together. Imagine your pet back in its favorite inside place, sleeping contentedly. Keep this image in mind and say:

"From this place you will not roam,

For you are safe and loved at home.

Whenever you leave, Return to me,

From this dawn onward. So mote it be!

Wrap the photo and hair in the hankie and tie it securely. Place it near your pet's favorite inside place.

SELF-DEFENSE AND BANES
Judy Harrow

I surely agree that we have every right to protect ourselves and our "own folk"
from attack. But I do believe that shield and mirror workings are more efficient, effective and elegant at accomplishing the goal of self-protection.
Consider this - a mirror working is perfect justice. If I am mistaken, either that psychic attack is being done at all or about the perpetrator, a bane will jeopardize me karmically and (if psychic attack truly is being done by somebody other than the one I suspect) fail to protect me. A mirror sits there passively, ignores any mistaken paranoia that I may occasionally get, does nothing at all until and unless an attack happens, and then sends the bad energy directly back to the exactly deserving person or group in exactly the proper amount and kind.
A mirror is perfect justice.

A grounding shield is perfect mercy, taking bad energy and dissipating it harmlessly. I think I already said this but I recently talked one of my students into using a grounding shield where she would have been perfectly entitled to use a mirror. The situation is an ongoing battle between my student's lover and his former wife. While the ex-wife did an entirely unjustifiable attack, and would fully deserve to have it returned full force, all this would really accomplish would be to perpetuate the craziness, hostility and tension in the situation - and both the couple's innocent children and my students are being hurt. Better for all concerned to ignore justice and drain as much of the tension as possible, to make room for the healing that all of them need. A grounding shield is perfect mercy.

But banes and bindings, while they may give short term protection, risk your own karma, are susceptible to mistake, and may, if misdirected, even fail of their well-intended purpose. Sure you're entitled to self-protection. This is just a lousy way to go about it. I guess my kind of Warrior is Athena, the wise defender.
warmly / Judy

This meditation can be used for Angelic healing. I am practicing this meditation for all the people who are in need of wellbeing. You are welcome to use it. Let us send love and light to all those in need.

Begin by visualizing a sparkling celestial white light in front of you, breathing in and out, as you breathe in this angelic white light, feel the angelic light energy expanding and surrounding you. You feel a peaceful relaxing energy and as you continue to breathe gently you see the angelic light expansion is ever increasing within and around your body.

Now speak from your heart, and make your intention known to God, the Angels, and the Archangels: we call upon the Archangel Raphael and all the Angels of healing to work with people who are in need of wellness. We call on Archangels, the Angels, and Angelic hosts of white light to assist us and provide love to all minds, and hearts, and where physical healing is required now. (Visualize all people in Haiti).

You notice a large quartz crystal above your head, from this crystal a beam of white divine light slowly descends into your heart filling you with beautiful green emerald light. As the light fills all your heart you now see the Archangel Raphael’s emerald light radiating from your heart sending its beams of healing love towards all those who are in need. See the healing green and white lights swirling outwardly, radiating toward others. Visualize and see all survivors, adults and children, being showered with the white light and their hearts blessed with the healing and loving emerald light, you see that all healers, doctors, service workers and all individuals are being blessed with the white light and are supported with strength, power and angelic guidance to provide support and healing.

We pray and send healing light to all souls that have passed on and have been carried and comforted by their Angels and loved ones and are now in a place of peace, love, and in the company of God and Angels and all Light beings. We pray and send healing light to all those who grieve so they may find calmness and consolation. We pray and send healing and blessings of light to all Earth Angels, that can provide help and support and be of service at this time.

Now we give thanks to God and the Angels for the blessings of love, comfort, peace and healings received. And so it is. Amen.

You can also use pieces of this meditation as a Prayer. Every Prayer counts.

Angel Blessings,
